Prashant Kishore, the election strategist, is now the talk of the town in Andhra Pradesh. He was spotted in Gannavaram airport along with TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh on Saturday. They both came by a chartered flight from Hyderabad and went to the TDP state headquarters in Mangalagiri.
Rajesh Kilaru, Shanthanu Singh and M Srikanth have also come along with Lokesh and Prashanth Kishore in the chartered flight.
PK is a brand in electoral politics. He is a magic wand in electoral strategies. He helped Narendra Modi, Jagan Mohan Reddy and M K Stalin to win the elections. He is now on the side of TDP, helping Chandrababu Naidu to win the 2024 general elections.
TDP is taking the help of PK’s former colleague, Robin Sharma, these days. Robin Sharma had been giving strategies to the party to face the ruling YSR Congress in state politics. Sources say that Robin Sharma’s agreement with the TDP is ending this month. It is for this reason, PK entered the scene.
While working for the YSR Congress, Prashanth Kishore was able to understand the socio-economic and political dimensions of Andhra Pradesh. He is said to have understood the social equations of the people and the political parties.
PK drew a clear line among the castes in the state and brought a divide that helped Jagan Mohan Reddy win the election in 2019. He has a very clear understanding of the social structure here and the caste divides. This would come handy for the TDP to get his support and win the elections, if he ties up with the party.
It is too early to say that PK is going to work for the TDP. He was spotted with Lokesh and was seen going to the TDP office. It is not clear yet that he will work with the TDP for the coming elections. But if he works, the TDP is all set to see the victory as he is a magician of electoral politics.
